What is the current UK unemployment figure? Could some of the jobs being done by the 130,000 odd foreign workers coming here not be done by British workers (I am aware of skills shortages in certain areas!!), so scoring the double bonus of not only contributing '£240 million' to the British economy but also reducing the burden on the welfare state? If British workers are not willing to take on some low paid jobs we need to re-examine the way the system works, so it is in their interest to do so (a part wage part benefit system to provide a certain minimal income?)
Just a question from a simple minded individual, who I like to think is not racist, but does have UK plc's best interests at heart first!
